Hardwire oven that has a plug?

Mrs Sissons · 28 Jan 2021

Hi
Swapping out ovens - new one has plug, old one was hardwired off a 13a FCU. Both same rating 2.9KW. Can I just take out the plug and lead from the new oven and wire it up using the exisitng cable (i.e. attach exisitng cable to the terminals on the back of the oven)?
Thanks

Yes.

Is it not easier to cut off the plug and connect to the FCU?

Or change the FCU to a 13A socket.

Or maybe change FCU for socket and plug it in?

Thanks all - I was going down the wiring directly into the oven as FCU is a bit hard to get to (in terms of the wires coming in and out through the back of adjacent cupboard) but changing it seems the way to go.
